UWCHLAN — A masked gunman attempted to rob two women as they waited in a parked vehicle at 8:45 p.m. Monday in the 100 block of South Village Avenue, according to the Uwchlan Police Department.

Police said the victims were waiting for a family member when a masked man, who was holding a handgun, approached the driver’s door and demanded money. The victims told the suspect that they had no money, and he then walked away to a nearby parking lot before driving away in small and older silver or gray sedan. The car’s paint was dull, the victims told police.

The suspect was described as a white man standing about 6 feet tall with a medium build who appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s.

Just before the attempted robbery, the victims saw a man standing in a parking lot near the area from where the suspect approached them, police said. Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to call the Uwchlan Police Department at 610-692-5100.
